There are few more emotive, or important, crops in the world than rice – the staple food for a huge proportion of the world’s population.
This volume presents the latest results of research in crop improvement as well as in molecular and cellular activities in rice.
It consists of 26 chapters and is divided into the following four sections: Genome-wide and genome-based research; Signal transduction and development; Evolution and ecology; and Improvement of rice.
The background to this book is that the complete sequencing of the rice genome and new molecular biological techniques have led to tremendous advances in our knowledge of rice biology.
Thus rice has become an important model plant for basic and applied research.
